Changes with njs 0.8.9                                       14 Jan 2025

     nginx modules:

     *) Bugfix: removed extra VM creation per server.
        Previously, when js_import was declared in http or stream blocks,
        an extra copy of the VM instance was created for each server
        block. This was not needed and consumed a lot of memory for
        configurations with many server blocks.

       This issue was introduced in 9b674412 (0.8.6) and was partially
       fixed for location blocks only in 685b64f0 (0.8.7).

     Core:

     *) Feature: added fs module for QuickJS engine.
